Punda Maria

Punda Maria is the northernmost camp in the park, situated 8 kilometers from the Punda Maria Gate on the slopes of a hill. Originally established in the early 1900s, it is one of the smaller, older and least visited camps within the park. The area around the park is mostly dry terrain but supports a variety of vegetation including large baobab trees. The concentration of wildlife is not as dense in this area as in other parts of the park, but Punda Maria has a lovely, much more rustic African bush atmosphere than other camps.
